Brinda Sapat answers, Hi Zubin. You need to get a go ahead certificate from your doctor first and a list of exercises that you can and cannot do. When you join the gym give this prescription to your instructor and have him base the workout around it. Please make sure you go to a cretified instructor ONLY.
